Default Rotating string.

I have a slight issue with my peep sight and string. When I draw back my peep rotates so that it is at a slight angle when I look through it. It is kind of blury and makes shooting annoying. Before I shoot a have to turn my peep to the right to compensate. I know you can let out a half turn of your string but I'm thinking that may be too much. Do you guys have any idea of any tips that will straighten it. I was thinking a Gibblet string, but dont want to spend the money when my stock bowtech string is brand new still.

Default RE: Rotating string.

Press it and move a single strand to the other side. Whatever side the peep is rotating too, move an extra strand to that side.

I just fixed my peep this way not less than 1 hour ago. It worked great.

Twisting or untwisting the string SOMETIMES works....Usually not for me though...[:@] If you can get away with it and not screw you up too badly, try sliding the peep up the string just a tiny bit......That will normally straighten it out pretty quickly. You'll of course need to adjust your sights a little bit......Don't go that route though if it makes you anchor point uncomfortable.

Thanks. I have heard to do that, but was unsure if it would help.

I agree with this method. It will usually do the trick.
There's no need to replace the factory string yet. Botech has a excellent stock strings.
